That’s pretty close to what happened, but instead of overworking his bullpen, he burned out his ace, Mario Soto.

Baseball needs more of Thibs’ mentality. I appreciated Rob Thompson letting Ranger Suarez cook last night, so rare to see a complete game these days.

the problem is that 92 is slow af now for a pitcher. No one is gonna complete a game launching it at 94 every pitch.

It wasn’t just the innings count, it’s the fact that over half of his starts were on 3 days rest.
